>close it with osb

I take it you really fucking hate the OP for some reason. OSB/faux wood paneling/MDF/any wood composite is literally the worst thing you can use for the underside of a roof. even shitty drywall would be better, but that's stretching it. All that shit is just job security for contractors. Just like the fucking OSB that's on the roof in the OP's image. There's already quality decking on the roof and they go and put on OSB sheeting.

Was thinking of that but not for the floors as I intend to use the space. Also the floor does not have OSB or plywood but tongue and groove floor boards. I don't know if that will have the proper R value for an attic wall as they are only 6 inches.

it is already fubar

Would you really need to insulate the floors? I've seen some where they insulate the ceiling but not the floor, basically insulating anywall that's part of the outside.

I have been asking the entire time about not the floors but the walls and ceiling. I cannot insulate the floors so I would need to go up.

Then the pink stuff would be the best and easiest. Just need a stapler and razor knife.

If you want to insulate between the rafters and they are evenly spaced at ~24" OC then just get kraft paper backed fiberglass and some of pic related.
You can worry about vapor barriers and stuff when you are ready to sheath the walls and ceiling.

I have the same problem. Best solution I could figure out was close cell spray foam insulation. Everything else requires soffit and roof ridge vents that would be a PITA to retrofit.

Anyways make sure your floor can handle the loads for living space before you go too far on this project. Mine are only 2x6's, 16" on center, so I will have to structurally reinforce the entire thing before I can doing any other finishing work.

I found this but it seems like it would be a lot of work and might be as much as the closed cell would be. My space is like 4 times the size of his though.

I wish I could see the floor structure but all I can see are the floor boards.

I have attic like yours, put in 4" of closed cell spray foam. Supposedly the best bang for your buck. Whelp, its hot and cold as fuck up there still so make sure you do your research and don't waste money on snake oil.

That shouldn't be. Closed cell at that depth should be adequate for a living space there. Maybe you didn't air seal everything or your windows are not energy efficient.

Buy rolls of insulation from local hardware store.

Buy staple (hammer) gun. Hard to explain but its a staple gun u swing like a hammer.

Buy razor knife.

Roll insulation uo and go to pound town with staple gun.

WATCH FOR 1.5 TRILLION ROOFING NAILS OR SCREWS STABING YOUR HAND!!

cut of excess and start on the next spot with it. Continue till done.

Forgot to say sheet floor with 1/2" or 3/4" plywood first.

Get a billion screws or nail gun.

Sheet walls with 1/2" osb or plywood.

Get chair.

Sit and ponder how u wanna set it up.

Consider any plumbing or outlets before hand.

Good luck!
